Grosseto, Italy — Italian coast guard Capt. Gregorio De Falco, center, arrives at the Grosseto court to be questioned in the investigation of the accident. In a recording of a dramatic phone conversation released Tuesday, De Falco was heard ordering the captain of the Costa Concordia back on board to oversee the evacuation. But Capt. Francesco Schettino resisted the order, saying it was too dark and the ship was tipping dangerously. "You go on board! Is that clear? Do you hear me?" De Falco shouted as the captain of the grounded cruise liner sat safely in a life raft while frantic passengers struggled to escape after the ship rammed into a rocky reef and tipped on its side off the Tuscan coast.
